Biology

If the mice are removed from the grassland food chain, the animal population that would most likely be affected first is the snakes.

Here’s why:

1.The field mice are a primary food source for the snakes. If the mice are removed, snakes would lose an important part of their diet.

2.With fewer mice to eat, the snake population would likely decline, as they would have to rely more on other prey, which might not be as abundant or easy to catch.
